I have this same problem. Ipad is crashing hardcore.

I don't really care for the "new" nameberry because it doesn't work well at all. I'm on a Macbook Pro that's less than a year old and my pages barely load, it's slow, and the look might be more muted but to me it looks very basic. I'm of the opinion if it's not broke, don't fix it. I love names and nameberry is the absolute best site for being name obsessed, hands down. I just wished it wasn't changed or that it would actually work on my computer.

Is it just a Mac thing? Is anyone else experiencing problems on OSX? I know some others commented on the iPad problems too.

I too noticed that error when I went to the forums section of Nameberry. I thought it was weird, but it is good to hear it is not just on my account. I think the new NB will take some getting used to, I do like this layout though to sexy if you ask me, though!

The new colors and design are okay (I'm not one to like change :P). But I LOVE The Bonus Blog, very good idea... so thank you :). I haven't looked through the database yet but I believe someone said ALL names are listed when you are browsing through? Awesome! I've been waiting for that update. Also, I like the rating system MUCH better. It was confusing and kind of a hassle because it was almost like every single day I could give or take half a star or so from every name I just voted on the day before. Plus "meh" may mean two stars to someone, while two stars means "dislike" to someone else. So, I like new the solid answers.

Now to the bugs/glitches/problems I've encountered so far..
What I'm using in very simple maybe useful terms (?, haha): Windows Vista computer w/Firefox and iPhone w/Safari.
I wasn't here to experience the every single post was made by me thing, but yes, the outer forums still shows my name for everything.
The little thumbs up/meh/down pictures are broken to me (E005?) and a few other little things like that (I only know what they are because they're fine on my iPhone).
My iPhone only crashed once (I wasn't on for that long because I frankly don't like the new format on there :/. Everything is so large and... idk)... I was trying to go to page two on a thread and the "jump to" thing kept popping up, and I kept trying to tap off of it and tap the two... but no go. It wouldn't change pages... then it crashed.
And probably my biggest issue ATM, I cannot edit my lists :(. After I click it, save button disappears... and nothing happens.Ah yes, and it takes much longer to load anything on either device..
That's it for now.

More - How the first name in the "Names Searched Right Now" overlaps the... well, "Names Searched Right Now" is bothering me :o.
These are really just my opinions of design now, but I prefer the names in the database to progress down columns (like they used to) instead of the rows happening now.. And on top of that, I dislike how LARGE the name pages are.. If it's a unisex name, I feel like I shouldn't be scrolling down that far to see all of the page. If a name is unisex, and someone doesn't know that... they may never realize it because it's not visible unless you scroll a very (disorienting) ways down.

I do really appreciate y'all's efforts to update the site, and make everything nice for us.

Thanks :)

And I only just realised when I used another laptop this evening that NB doesn't work as well in IE8. It has the same layout (I'm guessing) as for a smart phone or tablet, with massive drop down menus instead of the navigation bar at the top.

Yes! It was doing that to me while I was at work (I'm such a great employee...) But now that I'm on my home laptop it has a regular navigation bar which is much better. And I too miss the spotted background. I really like the new layout, the white is just a bit blinding.

I'm on an a MacBook Pro and I'm not having any problems with pages loading, perhaps it's your internet connection?

Ignoring the 'glitches' which will be worked out, bit by bit.....

-love the new color scheme
-love the fact that you see snippets of the entries for all names when you look at a list
-love the bonus blog
-am doing a happy dance after reading that Steve Ruble's infographic will be included soon

-not so in love with the white on white look of the forum.....could there be a frame of some sort?
-miss the ticker with the live feed of names being viewed

Overall--thanks for the update!

The ticker with the live names is still there--it's just way at the top and starts out blank when the page first loads. There's also a huge amount of white space between the word "nameberry" and the ticker, which feels a bit weird. And I kinda dislike the colors in the cloud. A bit too muted, if you ask me.

I'm on a macbook pro and everything's loading fine. So far the only glitch I'm encountering is that I can't "reply with quote"-- it tells me I'm not logged in and then when I log in it tells me my username is invalid.

I'm having a problem with the forums. Everytime I click on a thread it opens up fine, but if I want to see the next page I can't because everytime I click "next page" my safari app closes.

Edit: for instance, now that I have posted I can see page 7, but I can't go back to page 1 unless I go back to the board and select the thread all over again. Seeing pages 2-6 is still impossible for me no matter what though.
